Part gallery and part light show…the home is arrayed across two-levels, privatising the intimate zone upstairs. Expansive white walls, elegant timber floors and playful infusions of shape, pattern and colour set this two-bedder home. This is a curated space, attentive to detail, delightfully sensuous, while still managing a paired-back, simple grace. Living, dining and cooking sprawls across the ground floor, spilling to courtyard gardens to both the north and south. Lots of additional storage has been cleverly introduced - big pantry/coffee station, tech/mudroom/utility cupboard - while creative renovations have elevated the kitchen, infusing the home with a contemporary atmosphere.
Set at the back of the complex, the home feels secret and tranquil. High garden walls enclose the generous front courtyard with its simple arrangement of neat pavers, potted sacred bamboo. The form rising skyward, all glass stacked windows with silver and bronze notes, set against brutalist raw concrete. Cedar panelling and a big glass door continues the high end-feel, the whole home a magical combo of transparency and seclusion.
Floating stairs rise from a light filled foyer, with office nook tucked beneath, while comfy couches can be arranged beneath the northern sliders, set with billowing linen drapes. The kitchen feels minimal and open, edging one wall and serving up lots of seamless white cabinetry. Stunning terrazzo worktops deliver playful notes of peach, stretching to meet a milky glass splash back that reflects shadow and light. We love the matching tapware, its matt terracotta curve and the way the whole space is in chatty dialogue with dining, living and both alfresco domains. In one corner a powder room is seductively finished in floor-to-ceiling, moody greys.
A big clerestory window hangs in the void, showering the timber stairwell with sunlight, warmly ushering you to the intimate zone. The master gazes north, delivering you to sky and light. There is an ensuite bathroom and a wall of updated robes - pull-out drawers, jewellery trays, tailored hanging spaces. The second bedroom hums with light and aspect, think a wall of windows, waving eucalypts. Excellent storage and an adjacent big bathroom make for a life of grace - relaxing bathtub, concordant dark finishes, patterned greys, mosaics in pearlescent, midnight black.
It is hard not to covet the leafy streets of Yarralumla, the mix of old and gleaming modern builds, the lifestyle of city meets lakeside, as walking trails wend their way beneath the old-growth trees that dot the water's edge. This boutique 2012, multi-res is nestled within an ideal pocket, surrounded by significant embassies and directly across from Irwin St Park. It is a short trip to the boutique shopping and dining experiences of Manuka and Kingston and you can stroll to Double Shot in Deakin or wander to the excellent Yarralumla Shops. It is moments to the Parliamentary Triangle and steps from the forthcoming light rail stop, whisking you straight to the CBD.
